Why You Should Visit the Black Isle in Scotland!

The Black Isle is so named because of its dark and rocky landscape, which is covered in a dense blanket of heather and bracken. It has been described as a wild and beautiful area, with wildlife such as deer, birds of prey and otters inhabiting the area. Historically, the Black Isle was an important agricultural centre, and is still home to a variety of small farms, crofts and fishing villages. The area also has a rich cultural history, with ancient monuments, castles and ruins dotting the landscape.
